Emmanuel Volce
Battle of Brooklyn via Kickstarter
The indefatigable neighborhood activist Patti Hagan gives a pep talk to fledgling small-business owner Emmanuel Volce, who was doing his own economic development before Bruce Ratner came along to do "economic development" — aided and abetted by New York State.
Thanks again to everyone for the support - please spread the word to friends- we're over 20% of the way there.
In the scene Patti Hagan continues to work through the project site connecting with business owners and home owners to keep them informed and energized. Emmanuel Volce owned an automotive business and had only opened several months earlier. He was extremely depressed because he had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to open his business and he didn't have much hope.
